Supporting children’s services leadership teams to understand and apply contextual safeguarding.

Decreasing budgets, resulting restructures, changes in agendas and role responsibility has highlighted a gap which we believe is having a significant effect on timely outcomes for children and young people, is increasing risk and ultimately costs more. Systems and processes are not in place to support the response to contextualised safeguarding issues.

We have a highly experienced team who are able to support systems, processes and leaders around:

• Leading and managing the offer of services for youth offending/family support/etc. in the context of recent research on systemic therapies, contextual safeguarding and adolescent development.   
• Understanding the vision, principles and workforce requirements for addressing issues of the changing risks to young people.
• Developing the data systems to better understand the profile of cohorts of young people and their exposure to risks.
• Understanding the support, supervision, and reflective practice approaches needed by managers.
• Improving multi-agency working including quality of risk panels, strategy meetings and information sharing. 

This would be a mixture of training, action learning sets and consultancy support. We will create a bespoke support package to meet your specific needs.
